Kanzleramt (engl: "Chancellery") is a German serial political drama television series created by Hans-Christoph Blumenberg and Martin E. Süskind that was originally broadcast on ZDF from 23 March to 29 June 2005.

[1] The series is set primarily in the office of fictional Chancellor of Germany Andreas Weyer (Klaus J. Behrendt), telling stories about the German head of government's political career and private life as a widower and father of a teenage daughter.

[2] Compared with the multi-award winning US template The West Wing, Chancellery appeared to most critics but rather shallow and trivial.

[1][3] It was written by the former speechwriter of German statesman Willy Brandt, Martin E. Süskind, but they deemed unrealistic.

It does not matter whether the Russian president does not want to return images that disappeared during the Second World War, whether he is suffering from back pain or if the German ambassador to Turkey is being shot.
